“On the other hand, this number may pale in comparison to the number of people who have received COVID vaccines, Alzheimer’s immunotherapies, and GLP-1 RAs, and yet there doesn’t appear to be as large as a sweeping concern for these other, more widely used medications.“
As soon as I started reading your post, I had the sane though. Are they deliberately trying to destroy these companies while backing their friends at the drug companies? Or stop it until Pfizer gets into the game. Don’t get me wrong, I am bot supporting CAR-T at this point.
Same thought when I read "Explainer: What’s behind FDA’s concern that a cancer-fighting cell therapy can also cause the disease?" Seems like it should read "What's behind FDA's concern that a cancer-fighting cell therapy given to at most 35,000 people can also cause the disease when they've COMPLETELY IGNORED the cancer-causing shot given to BILLIONS."
Not that this is likely to even be an issue for most people. I know one person who survived non-hodgkins lymphoma courtesy of CART-T-cell treatment. However, it cost the insurance company of the place that the person worked for, a mere USA $6,000,000. So the average person isn't likely to get a look in. And not too many insurance companies can take too many hits like that.
